The Padre Martearena Stadium in Salta is dressed for a gala this Tuesday to host Boca's debut today in the 2026 Copa Argentina. The Xeneize will face Gimnasia de Chivilcoy in a match corresponding to the first phase of the national tournament, under the refereeing of Facundo Tello. The winner of this clash will become the 14th team to qualify for the round of 32.
Boca's match today is scheduled to start at 21:15 (local time). Fans will be able to follow the broadcast live on TyC Sports. In addition, for those who prefer streaming, it will be available on the Flow, DGO, Telecentro Play, and TyC Sports Play platforms.
Although the seventh round of the Torneo Apertura is already underway, Boca's reality today is different due to the postponement of their league match against Lanús (rescheduled for March 4), as the Granate are currently playing in the Recopa Sudamericana.

Boca faces Gimnasia de Chivilcoy today with many changes.
After a lackluster goalless draw against Racing that generated murmurs at the Bombonera, Claudio Úbeda's team needs a convincing victory to calm things down in a year where the main objective is the Copa Libertadores.
For this cup debut, the coach decided to give playing time to an alternative starting eleven. The main attraction will be the presence of Paraguayan Adam Bareiro, the brand-new signing who will make his official debut leading the attack. In goal, Leandro Brey will have his chance to prove himself, protected by a revamped defense.
The standout note of the day is the absence of Edinson Cavani. The "Matador", who was on a negative streak and managed to score so far this season after recovering from lower back pain, was not part of the squad that traveled to northern Argentina.
For Gimnasia de Chivilcoy, this match represents a date with history. The Buenos Aires team, which recently earned promotion from the Regional Amateur and had a great campaign in Federal A last year, has not yet started official competition in 2026 (they have only played friendlies), so this clash against a continental giant will be their absolute debut on the calendar.

Úbeda needs to return to winning ways.
